A guy at work today was complaining about the warranty on a set of compressor tools. One brand's had a lifetime warranty, the one he wanted, (the cheaper one) had a three year. He wanted me to give him the cheaper one, and insisted he get a lifetime warranty for it. (A manufacturer's offer, nothing I had any control over) So I told... Read More

Sorry I've been in absentia for so long, I have much to relay. First though, I just want to say that even though I haven't been commenting, I've been following all of your triumphs and tragedies. Thank you for sharing them, and I wish all of you the best.

I don't think I've ever gone looking for a pet, they just seem to find their way into my life. I found Sugar Bear in a grocery store parking lot, her head on a curb, damn near starved to death. I bought a pack of hot dogs when I was in the store, and when I came out she was still there. I fed her a hot dog and she was immediately my friend! I loaded her up in the back of the truck and brought her home and she was with me for years and years...

I'm 35 today... Not enjoying it so far. BUT, I actually have a weekend off for once, my girlfriend will be here the whole time, so I'm going to start my new year watching DVDs on the couch cuddled up under a blanket with periodic breaks for kinky birthday sex.

Our weekend plans will have to stay on hold (forever). Seems things were worse than I thought. Either I need to whine more so someone will make me go to the doctor sooner or I need to work on lowering my pain tolerance. I was having a problem before christmas but no one knew it until a week ago. I'm not going to be around much for the next week or two, but I'm fine ... on the mend.

An interesting past 24 hours. I've learned about who thinks I'm cute, who has a crush on me, who thinks I'm gay, who hates my guts and wishes I'd die, and not all of them make any sense. The guy who hates me I met once, said maybe 3 words to, and barely even remember. But apparently he's in love... Read More

X-mas is over... good riddance. New year's is done, looking very forward to enjoying a new clean year where NOBODY dies. I've decided to start the year with a nice stomach flu. I thought it would be fun to throw up in my car, just barely managing to pull over and yak out the open door. Stupid seat belt kept me from leaning... Read More

Nope. I've yet to meet a someone I'd consider a worthy adversary for the showing.
On NYE, I was home watching Wedding Crashers and Memoirs of a Geisha. THEN, on the first day of the new year, I took the all the covers off the sofa cushions and pillows ... and washed them. And ... that about sums it up.

Oh, this training class is going to be the death of me. Today we had a store manger (among a series of random instructors) talk to us for 35 minutes about the "Autonomous Departments". Instead of talking about the self-sufficient Pro Desk for contractor services, or the Designers who also work without supervision.... or, autonomously, she kept going on about how customers can rent a...

Just moments after I read your journal, the boss walked into my office and closed the door. He sat down and looked at me ... kinda like . He said, "I had a list of three local businesses and letters for each. I asked the new receptionist to look up their addresses and get the letters in the mail. Before I said anything more, she said, 'I ain't good at phonebook'." He asked me if I knew what that meant. I told him it sounded like a sexual dysfunction. He agreed and said maybe it had something to do with 'Let your fingers do the walking'.

I've decided that from now on, when someone asks me something, I'm going to say, 'I ain't good at phonebook". I can't wait to see the look on their face. Hell, between your journal and this, my brain is still bleeding.
